Vincent Cheminaud (winning rider of Verity)

“I was confident about the distance and the track, to be honest. She’s a nice filly. I’d won twice with her and she was good every time. I was very confident. She broke better than I thought from the gate. My filly was traveling very well next to the 5 on the lead (Stunner). She gave me a good effort.”

Flavien Prat (rider of runner-up and beaten favorite Stunner)

“She (broke) well, used her speed out of the gate. She was traveling well, just got outrun.”

Eliseo Ruiz (rider of third-place finisher Volleyballprincess)

“She ran big, she tried. It was a tough race. I learned a lot today. I learned that she’ll run from behind. She’ll run better next time.”
